Exercise: Regular aerobic exercise will help by strengthening your muscles. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week. Gradually increase the intensity of exercise so that you sweat freely. It may take a few months to see the full benefit. Have a healthy diet, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Wish you good health!

Helpful approaches: 1. SI belts can help on bad days, and can be obtained at orthopedic supply stores. 2. McKenzie Back Exercises are revolutionary and if done religiously, provide long term stabilization. A physical therapist can teach. 3. Stretching, especially looser hamstrings can dramatically help. 4. Tylenol or NSAID's can be used sparingly but not in large amounts. 5. A TENS unit can be used for flare ups.
